  1. Fusion Beauty GlowFusion Air Glow Gun

 

What it’s for: Self-tanning at home

 

Why it’s innovative: Featuring an “air glow gun,” this is the first and only at-home airbrush system on the market. Even the tanning mist is innovative: It has micro-nutrient technology that distributes vitamins and nutrients to the skin while a cocoa complex delivers anti-aging properties and antioxidant protection.

 

Why it’s essential: This kit not only lets you achieve a streak-free glow in the comfort of home — saving you money on pricey salon visits — but it also saves your skin from the fine lines, wrinkles, age spots and cancer risks associated with the sun. Plus, the fast-drying formula lasts up to two weeks without fading.

 

  1. Silk'n SensEpil

 

What it’s for: Long-term hair removal

 

Why it’s innovative: It’s the only FDA-approved over-the-counter device that removes unwanted hair in the privacy of home. Silk’n SensEpil features brand new, highly sophisticated Home Pulsed Light technology to banish hair and even boasts a built-in safety sensor to ensure that the appropriate skin types use it.

 

Why it’s essential: The results after two to four sessions are comparable to professional procedures. And what’s best? A full leg treatment takes less than 30 minutes!

 

  1. Tanda Professional Skincare System

 

What’s it for: Acne and anti-aging

 

Why it’s innovative: Tanda Professional Skincare System features two innovative treatment heads that deliver powerful results using breakthrough LED technology:

    • The Tanda Professional Clear Acne Light Therapy Treatment Head features blue LED light that effectively kills the acne-causing bacteria that clogs pores, treating existing blemishes and preventing breakouts.
    • The Tanda Professional Regenerate Anti-Aging Light Therapy Treatment Head uses red LED light to help improve skin texture, color and tone while diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Why it’s essential: It works! In one study, 90 percent of participants found that the system helped existing acne and prevented new acne outbreaks. Ninety-two percent of participants reported radiant and smooth skin that looked and felt more rejuvenated.

 

  1. T3 Bespoke Featherweight

 

What it’s for: Blow-drying

 

Why it’s innovative: The winner of Allure’s prestigious Best of Beauty Award, this groundbreaking hairdryer has two powerful, patented features:

    • The Flawless™ technology that uses Tourmaline negative ions to break down water molecules into tiny droplets for faster evaporation.
    • The softAire™ flow system that features infrared energy to heat hair — not air — allowing 60 percent faster performance than other hairdryers.

And the innovative icing on the cake? The T3 hairdryer uses highly engineered components that are easy on your ears — and easy on your arms, as it weighs less than a can of soda.

 

Why it’s essential: The Tourmaline technology, innovative design and superior performance means less frizz, less damage and less time spent drying your hair.

 

  1. Oscar Blandi Colore Pen

 

What it’s for: Touching up roots and concealing stray strands of gray

 

Why it’s innovative: Created by colorists at the Oscar Blandi Salon, this pen is an effective color-corrector, without the use of ammonia and peroxide. The cream formula gently sticks to hair in seconds, but won’t stain or permanently alter hair color. And don’t worry about getting stuck in the rain — the water-resistant formula is specially formulated to withstand drizzle yet easily washes out in the shower.

 

Why it’s essential: By lengthening the time between color appointments, this product saves you both money and hours spent at the salon.

 

  1. NuFace Device

 

What it’s for: Facial toning

 

Why it’s innovative: NuFace uses safe, gentle low-level currents to boost tired, aging muscles. The gentle electrical impulses actually rehabilitate the muscles and improve circulation, texture, tone and fine lines. By increasing cellular blood flow, NuFace accelerates cell turnover, stimulating collagen and elastin and reducing signs of aging.

 

Why it’s essential: NuFace offers fast, professional results in the privacy of your home. The micro-current lifts, tones and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles after only five minutes a day. Regular use helps strengthen muscles and rejuvenate your overall complexion.

 

  1. Clarisonic Skin Care System

 

What it’s for: Deep facial cleansing

 

Why it’s innovative: The Clarisonic Skin Care Brush is clinically proven to be more than twice as effective as normal cleansing by hand. How does it work? The outer (stationary) brush and the inner (oscillating) brush create a deep cleansing zone, which gently encourages the pores to release dirt, oil and grime. Amazingly, the inner brush oscillates back and forth at a sonic frequency of more than 300 movements per second to achieve this.

 

Why it’s essential: In addition to incredible cleansing, this brush effectively removes makeup, increases product absorption and ultimately improves the look of skin by reducing the appearance of oil, blemishes, dryness, pores and aging. In fact, one study revealed that after just four weeks, over 80 percent of participants observed healthier-looking skin, 94 percent reported softer skin and 70 percent reported smaller pores.

 

  1. Metropolis Technology S-Nano Ionic Digital Wet/Dry Flat Iron

 

What it’s for: Hair straightening

 

Why it’s innovative: The Metropolis S-Nano Silver Ionic Digital Wet and Dry Flat Iron lets you sidestep the hairdryer and straighten towel-dried hair. The plates contain air vents to release moisture, while the S-Nano technology employs the sanitizing properties of silver. Ionic and far infrared technologies create tresses that are healthier, shinier, smoother and split end-free.

 

Why it’s essential: This flat iron not only saves you valuable time in the morning, but it also improves the look and health of your hair — something you seldom see with styling tools.
